2 ½ cups flour
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
½ cup butter
3 eggs
2/3 cup buttermilk
2/3 cup grated sharp cheddar
¼ cup chopped chives
¼ cup grated sharp cheddar (to top scones)
Preheat oven to 375° F.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter. Stir in the cheddar and chives.
Whisk 2 eggs and combine with the buttermilk. Add to the flour mixture and stir until just moist.
Turn the dough out onto a well floured surface and knead lightly. Cut dough in half. Roll each half into a circle about ¾” thick. Cut each circle into 4 wedges. Whisk remaining egg in a small dish and brush on top of the scones.
Let the scones rest for about 10 minutes before baking. Sprinkle each scone with about a Tbsp of grated cheddar.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.

3 cups potatoes, chopped into 1” or smaller cubes
1 cup soup stock
1 cup leek or onion, chopped small
1 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp cream cheese
½ cup grated or cubed cheddar
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
Over high heat in a large pot, cover the potatoes and leek/onion with water and boil them until the potato pieces are easy to pierce through with a fork. Strain out the water. Turn the heat to low. Roughly mash the potatoes, then add the soup stock, cream cheese, and butter. Stir to melt the cream cheese and butter. Then stir in the cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Add more soup stock if a thinner consistency is desired.
